RUSH EXCERPT:
CARLSON: "Today Tony podesta resigned as head of his company. His excuse? Us. That’s right, he blamed us. In his parting statement, he said this. “It is impossible to run a public affairs firm all you are under attack by Fox News on the right-wing media.” Podesta isn’t just complaining about us, he’s threatening us. This afternoon we got a letter from Jeff, a lawyer, so much from a big law firm here in D.C., the letter demands that the show “Immediately cease and desist disseminating false and misleading reports about Mr. Podesta and the podesta group.” It demands we retract and delete all our prior reporting on the podesta group and warns that if we don’t do this “Mr. Podesta may pursue legal action, including for damages in order to fully protect his rights.” The letter doesn’t stop there, it also warns us that we will face legal action under the copyright act merely for quoting from this letter publicly as we just did. The most amusing line is this one. “Paul Manafort did not work with the podesta group in its representation of the European center for a modern Ukraine. That’s what the letter told us."
